Getting ready for Saturday -- what's good food for tailgating at home?

[VOL89grad]

(Note: As I won’t be in Athens, sticking with my “lucky” 2022 VOLS game preps:
- Wear my lucky “KUA ‘AINA Haleiwa“ t-shirt my daughter got me awhile ago.
- Prepare (as main protein) hot chicken wings.
- Do my normal routine before game (e.g. about a 4 mile walk)
- be prepared to yell and holler at TV from afar to propel our team to victory!

Hasn’t failed yet.... but think this will be an epic game just like Bama!

Underrated thread I’m getting some good ideas. White beans come to mind haven’t had those in a while

 

[Dadof2Vols]

some cider(cant have beer, gluten intolerant) for Pregame

at half time the main meal starts

3.5 Hour slow Roasted Prime Filet comes out of steam oven at 450
Baked Potato
Salad
$150 bottle of Cabernet

desert
sweet Potato with Cinnamon Sugar
Nice glass of aged port for celebration

All of this will be enjoyed in the man cave where there are 3 Tv(s) so that multiple games can be monitored while the VOLS are beating up on the puppies.

Trying a new suggestion tomorrow to go with a crockpot full of chili. Air fried hotdogs guys a work say I got to try it.

We will have lots of other usual fingerfoods, but this will be a first air fried chili dogs.

My wife will make me sleep on the couch

Tater skins, sausage balls, smokies with grape jelly and mustard, ham n cheese sliders on Hawaiian rolls, pico &queso, southwestern egg rolls, bacon wrapped jalapeños, bacon wrapped smokies with brown sugar, homemade hand breaded chicken tenders.. ribs.. these are most of the things I fix on game day ( not all at once- just a few with different combinations of 3 or 4 each week)

Duck poppers- jalapeño with cream cheese and duck breast wrapped in bacon.

Sausage and cheese platter

Smoked shrimp skewers

Trying chicken quarters for the first time in the new pellet smoker.

Brine for 30 minutes, no more, the hit em low for 40 minutes then crank it to 400 for the last twenty or so, id pull em when ya turned the heat up n drop on the 400

Pat em dry after brining and lift the skin when you add the spice

[chuckb1448]

A kale salad, maybe some kale chips. Then some blueberries on the side. Then some water with a dash of apple cider vinegar.

Friiggin Geeez Dude!

I had a Gameday Recipe page up here years ago but don't know where it went, a lot of good ideas on there

 

[TikiVol]

Smoked pork butt. Bourbon during the game, and eat after the win!

 

[Jeff Clark]

Taco bar with chili,pizza or grilled hamburgers and hot dogs

 

[Manchester Vol]

Probably be too nervous to eat, but just in case I get the munchies, what makes for good food for viewing this spectacular game?

It’s Xanax covered brownies for me!!

 

[markus]

Tennessee whiskey. Heavens door by bob dylan

 

[SoddyAllVol]

You had me till IPA bro....................Heading to The Alumni Watch party at The Friendly Confines in Orlando. Probably knock out some wings, maybe loaded chips, and a bottle of Jack.

I was about to say the same thing

 

[SoddyAllVol]

Fried Bulldog

I like the dry rubbed wings from Lil Ceasar, some Ritz crackers w/ pepperoni slices and Colby jack cheese cubes, Fritos and bean dip, wavy Lays chips with French onion dip, fresh baked cookies from the deli, cold Dr Pepper to wash it down, Lil Smokey beef sausages in a bbq sauce.

I f*** with little ceasers wings

Thanks for the tips! I’ve done a few pork butts and ribs with excellent results thus far. Chicken makes me nervous for some reason.

Gotta get my confidence up for a big daddy brisket before too long. Maybe the SECCG…

Electric screwdriver: 2 parts vodka, 1 part orange juice, one part seltzer.

(There are many versions. This is mine. Simple, effective.)

Amateurs, nothing but the best for me. I'm gonna have some of them gourmet sausages from Vienna.
Wash it down with Gilmer County shine!
